Description

This is one darn yummy soup. Easy to make but very elegant. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups Butter
  • 1 whole Onion, Chopped
  • 3 stalks Celery, Chopped
  • 1 clove Minced Garlic
  • 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 4 cups Water
  • 1 can 10.5 Oz. Chicken Broth
  • 4 teaspoons Chicken Bouillon Powder
  • 2 whole Med. Potatoes Peeled And Diced
  • 1 pound Fresh Asparagus, Trimmed And Coarsely Chopped
  • ¾ cups Half-and-half
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoons White Pepper
  • Salt To Taste

Preparation

Melt butter in a heavy cooking pot. Add onions, celery and garlic; saute until tender, approx. 4 min.

Stir in flour, mixing well. Cook for 1 to 2 min., stirring constantly. Do not burn or let it get lumpy.

Slowly add water, chicken broth and chicken bouillon; stir until smooth. Bring to a boil.

Add diced potatoes, and chopped asparagus. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 min.

Puree soup in a blender in batches or the easy way as I do, with an immersion blender.

Return to pot and stir in half-n-half, soy sauce and the peppers. Bring soup just to boiling point. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve hot.

This was very good soup. I did alter it a little. Added more chicken broth, less water and a little bit of white wine. Also added more garlic and kept some tips on the side and added them near the end of the process for texture. Can’t wait until the spring when the wild asparagas grows around here to make this. I’m sure the wild asparagas will make this awesome soup even better. Thank you for the recipe!

I registered on this site just to review this soup. It’s one of our favorite soups of all time. Since discovering this recipe I have made it 4 times. I think I could live on this stuff. Do yourself a huge favor and try this – it’s unreal and you won’t regret it. It has made me very popular in my house!

this looks great but I’m allergic to celery… have you tried it without? Seems like it should taste fine without it but just wondering if you have…

Very yummy! This was a quick and easy to make recipe. I served it with grilled panini sandwiches. My husband loved it. Thanks.

This was pretty good. I made it exactly as written tonight. I think that the next time I make it I may try a little stinky cheese in it. Thanks for sharing.
